Of Today, Newly Born

Today's poem was kindled as dawn's wave of gold

rolled across the waking world, like a heavenly

banner unfurled, proclaiming the sovereignty of God! 

So far today's opportunities have brought

a sudden to-go breakfast for Jim,

up w-a-ay before the sun!

a bit of being still...

A half-ish peck 'o peppers, picked

and ready to pickle!! 

Behold daybreak's grand sky

Like a gold banner, morn

Dissolves the dark with infant cry

Of Today, newly born

To celebrate its birth

Is a very fine thing

To praise the God of Heav'n and earth

In courts of thanksgiving 

No matter what it bears

Wherever in the world

We are; the Giver of life cares

With fresh mercies unfurled

What privilege to be

Beneficiaries 

Where Favour's kind fidelity 

Would fill ten thousand seas

What sacred 'second chance'

To pursue joy and peace

To the glory of He who grants

Today's newly-born lease

No matter what succeeds 

The verge of hidden things

God's faithful Providence precedes 

Whatever today brings 

Janet Martin

What wonderful worth each day brings when 

'whether you/we eat or drink or whatever you/we do, 

(we) do it all for the glory of God.

1 Cor.10:31

Have you tried this tongue-twister recently? 😄

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.

A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.

If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,

Where's the peck of pickled peppers that Peter Piper picked?
